What keeps you going?

I'm specifically directing this question to the men but girls, feel free to answer if you like. The reason is because a lot of us men do not have anyone we can count on. Who do we go to when we feel trapped? When we're depressed? When it feels like the world has turned its back on. The answer? No one. Well usually. So I ask, what is keeping you going?

I'm not sure this really answers the question for my situation but here goes. My current goal. My current goal is self improvement. I've started with weight lifting and basic grooming. I want to get in shape not only to feel good about myself but to become more attractive. I realize the state I am in I am not appealing to the opposite sex. I see women, beautiful women all the time and I think to myself "Man I wish I could have a gal like that by my side." I tell myself, if I want that for myself, I've got to do better. I've got to be better. I've got to transform myself into that guy that everyone wants to be.

I don't know where else I'll go from here, but I figured weight training is a good start. I'm glad I took this path, I feel awesome after every workout. Yah its hard making myself go, always try to find an excuse not to go but 90% of the time I make myself go and I've never regretted it once.
